RAINBOW IN A CUPMake rainbow Jello for St. Patrick's Day or other festive occasions. This cute snack is simple to make, but each layer has to set before you add the next layer, so start days before you want to eat it.

RAINBOW STREAMERMake a handheld rainbow that you can use while putting on your own parade or while dancing.

HANDPRINT RAINBOWThe handprints of many children form a beautiful rainbow, making a great classroom decoration or bulletin board. This project is good for a group of children.
